- Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, to the atmosphere.
- Deforestation (cutting down forests) mean that there are fewer trees all round the world to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
We are doing nothing to remove this extra gas. That is why we have global warming.
What else can I help you with?
What are two ways that deforestation adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
Rotting trees add carbon dioxide (and sometimes methane) to the atmosphere.Burning trees releases carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
How do organism add carbon to the atmosphere?
When a organism dies and decays it emits carbon dioxide.
What human activities do not add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
Riding a bicycle is carbon neutral, which means it has no carbon footprint. It does not increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.Many other human activities, particularly sports and exercise are carbon neutral. But whenever you turn on some electrical gadget or ride in a fossil fueled vehicle you start increasing the carbon dioxide in the air.
How do living things add carbon to theatmosphere?
Living things add carbon to the atmosphere through respiration, where they release carbon dioxide as a byproduct of metabolism. Additionally, when living organisms decompose after death, carbon stored in their bodies is also released back into the atmosphere. Human activities such as deforestation and burning of fossil fuels also contribute to the release of carbon into the atmosphere.
Carboniferous plus time scale plus 2010?
there is no word called carboniferous carbon is an element that has a grayish blackish color. its most common molecule is carbon dioxide. if you add that to the time scale, the carbon dioxide will add up in the atmosphere that we live in. ifyou add 2010 then you havethe amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in the year 2010... which is alot. and people are tryingto reduce carbon emissions.
What processes add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
Combustion of fossil fuels and aerobic respiration in living cells are two processes that add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.Usage of Carbon containing fuels and Respiration
How do animals add carbon to the atmosphere?
Animals add carbon to the atmosphere through processes like respiration, decomposition of organic matter, and methane production. When animals breathe out, they release carbon dioxide into the air. Additionally, when animals die and decompose, carbon is released back into the atmosphere.
What directly adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
Breathing.Burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.
Does logging really add CO2 to our atmosphere?
Yes. Trees are so important because they turn Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere into Oxygen which we need to stay alive. So, the more trees that are cut down, the more Carbon Dioxide will stay in the atmosphere.
How does carbon cycle through earth's system?
Carbon cycles through Earth's system primarily through processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and combustion. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis, converting it into organic matter. Animals and plants release carbon back into the atmosphere through respiration and decomposition, while human activities like burning fossil fuels add additional carbon dioxide. This continuous movement of carbon between the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere is known as the carbon cycle.
Which process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere?
There are several. The main ones are:PhotosynthesisCarbonate formationDissolution of carbon dioxide into seawater
Are bio-fuels good?
Yes because they do not add polluting carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, causing global warming. (They release carbon dioxide that was recently removed from the air, so biofuels are carbon-neutral.)
